[ale] Car PC's and internet radio?

[Christopher Bergeron]

We actually did some work with the developer of RoadNav back in 2002 or 
2003.  The project was very rudimentary back then, but so were most 
Linux nav. systems.  We settled on GPSdrive, but GPSdrive doesn't offer 
turn-by-turn capability.  I'll take a look at Roadnav and see how far 
along it has progressed.

Kind regards,
Chris Bergeron
